I'm not terribly surprised or disappointed, I've seen them a few times including this summer, which I don't know if it was the circumstance or the performance, but I wasn't that excited by it. There isn't anything new for Slayer to bring to the table, so it makes no difference to me whether they hang it up now or more likely continue touring and releasing rehashed music for another 5-10 years.

I would agree with half of this, I don't think Slayer has released a good album since Diabolus and I don't have any hopes they ever will release another good album. I thought they were great on MayhemFest last year though, fantastic setlist and good performance.

I could honestly care less what happens to Slayer at this point. I haven't been intersted in anything they've released in years, and I've seen them live. Only once, but it was awesome and good enough for me. I respect their legacy and will always love their classic material, but the band is kind of a joke at this point, too much rockstar ego bullshit and members talking shit about each other.

You gotta say there are at least a few really good tracks on God Hates Us All
